Chapter 31 Yang Su teaches Sun

In the tent, all the officials went out, and only Yang Shiqing and others were with Yang Su. At this time, Yang Yuanqing gave Yang Wei a look. Yang Wei was helpless and had to kneel down in front of his grandfather, "The grandson did something that damages the reputation of the Yang family, so please punish him."

"What did you do?" Yang Su said with a kind smile.

"It's about my grandson's riding and shooting exam yesterday."

"Riding and shooting?"

Yang Su casually took the score sheet of riding and shooting from the table. The score sheet was arranged by surname. He quickly found Yang Wei, riding a horse for four points, stepping on the bow for three points, and riding two points, with a total of nine points, which was a very good result.

"You did a good job in the exam!"

Yang Wei was already sweating profusely and said stutteringly: "Reporting to my grandfather and grandson... in fact... only shot one arrow."

The smile on Yang Su's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "What's the reason here? Tell me honestly."

"yes!"

Yang Wei said tremblingly: "Three days ago, my grandson got an introduction from a friend, found Yuwen Zhiji, and gave him two thousand yuan to hang money. He then patted Xiongjia to ensure that I passed the martial arts."

"Yuwen Shu's son?"

"yes!"

Yang Su pondered for a moment, and then said to the soldiers around him: "You all go out."

The personal soldiers went out one after another, and Yang Su also said to Yang Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, go out with you! I want to talk to Wei'er alone."

Yang Yuanqing pulled a handful of Niu Niu, and the two of them quickly walked out.

Yang Su then asked Yang Wei in a low voice, "According to your Mou Zhi, how many people spend money to buy martial arts?"

"I heard that there are no less than a hundred people in my grandson, but there are more than twenty friends around me."

"It's all through Yuwen Zhiji?"

"Yes! I heard that this martial arts was manipulated by Yuwen Shu. At least three examiners were his. Everyone would not say such things publicly, but the si is asking quietly how much money each person paid? I heard that at least one thousand hangs were required. Because my grandson was too poor in riding and shooting, he gave two thousand hangs."

Yang Su lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said to Yang Wei: "If you don't talk about this, my grandfather has another big thing to let you do."

When Yang Wei heard his grandfather's intention, he seemed to not pursue his bribery and buying martial arts. He was overjoyed. He patted his mouth and said, "Please ask my grandfather to tell his grandson to die!"

Yang Su smiled slightly, "It's not that serious. I will promote you to the position of brigade coach. You will follow Yuanqing in the future, and you will follow him for five or ten years."

Yang Wei was so shocked that his flesh on his face shook, "Did my grandfather ask me to go to the frontier?"

Yang Su pressed his shoulder and stared into his eyes and said, "Wei'er, this is a major event that concerns the rise and fall of our Yang family. You will never treat you badly with Grandfather Yuan Qing."

Yang Wei understood a little, "What grandfather meant is that as long as I was by Yuan Qing's side, he would not completely cut off the roots of the family?"

Yang Su nodded, "Yes! That's what it means. Follow him and you will have a bright future. Wei'er promises her grandfather!"

Yang Wei made up his mind and kowtowed to his grandfather, "The grandson will definitely live up to his grandfather's expectations."

Yang Su smiled with relief, "Who said that the Yang family is a person without vision, his fat grandson did not disappoint him.

"Go! Call Yuan Qing in."

Yang Wei kowtowed again and got up with great worries.

Outside the big tent, Yang Yuanqing was talking in a low voice with Niu Niu.

"Brother Yuanqing, I think there is a big problem here! Just a examiner decides the grades. If I give some money to the examiner, the examiner will say that I am very skilled in martial arts, and there is really no fairness in this martial arts."

"Niu Niu, this kind of thing is hard to avoid. In fact, it is not the question of these examiners. There is a big tiger behind it. Don't ask, grandfather knows this kind of thing more clearly than us."

Niu Niu sighed, "I know, I just felt unfair for Brother Shan and Brother Qin and others. I came from all the way, but encountered injustice and even a joke. This was so dark."

At this time, Yang Wei walked out and said to Yuan Qing: "Yuan Qing, grandfather let you in."

Yuan Qing turned around and walked into the big tent. Niu Niu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Fat Sanlang, it seems that you are in a bad mood! Have you been scolded by your grandfather?"

Yang Wei squatted down with his head in his arms and sighed, "I'm going to go to the side to stuff!"

In the big tent, Yuan Qing sat in front of Yang Su. Listening to his grandfather's teachings, Yang Su slowly looked through the riding and shooting score book. He had already discovered a clue. Almost all the children of aristocratic families had their exam numbers starting with three. Most of these people's riding and shooting scores were above eight points, and dozens of them were very good. Yang Su shook his head gently. If what Wei'er said was true, Yuwen Shu had done too much. If more than one hundred people, he would have charged more than 100,000 yuan in this exam, and his greed was everywhere.

"Yuan Qing, Wei'er just leaked a little bit of the situation. This time the fraud in the martial arts may involve many senior officials, and Yuwen Shu is the largest of them."

"Did my grandfather want to deal with Yuwen Shu?"

Yang Su shook her head gently and smiled, "It's not me, but you!"

"Please tell my grandfather that my grandson doesn't quite understand." Yang Yuanqing really didn't understand what his grandfather meant.

"Yuan Qing, grandfather brought you here today, not as simple as letting me accompany me. Grandfather is teaching you, teaching you something in the officialdom, and laying this foundation for you.

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently and said nothing. Yang Su continued to smile: "Since the emperor asked me to inspect the examination room last night. He asked a Shangshu Ling to do the inspection, I understood the emperor's importance to this martial arts. He did not want to select any shiwei talents. He was actually testing the possibility of implementing the imperial examination. He allowed poor children to participate in the military examination, and in the future he would also allow poor children to participate in the imperial examination. This is the saint's intention. Being an official is the most important thing. You must understand the emperor's thoughts so that you can prescribe the right medicine. Yuanqing, do you understand?"

"Grandson understands!"

"Okay! After understanding the holy will, what should I do in the second step? The second step is to find a stepping stone. Only when you step down a person who violates the holy will, the priest will know that you understand his intentions, and thus appreciate you and promote you, from ancient times to the present, is the iron law of the officialdom."

"What grandfather meant is that this stepping stone is Yuwen Shu?"

Yang Su nodded with a smile, "Actually, he is not only your stepping stone, but also his grandfather's stepping stone. Now the emperor is eager to let Yuwen Shu replace his grandfather, but I don't want to go so quickly. Some things I haven't arranged yet. It will take at least one year for me. Only by stepping on Yuwen Shu will the emperor have to continue using me, and the same is true for you.

Now you left the impression on the priest as a powerful general. In the officialdom and the power and strategy, the priest thinks you are still naive. If he wants to use you, he will have to wait for several years. This is not possible. It has been too long. You must let the priest understand that not only your force is powerful, but your wisdom is not bad. If he changes his impression of you, he will give you additional positions. Yuan Qing, this is also your chance. When you went to Youzhou to capture Dou Kang, Yuwen Shu criticized you once in the future, don't forget."

"Didn't my grandfather tell me that I couldn't be publicized?" Yang Yuanqing was a little puzzled.

Yang Su narrowed her eyes and smiled, "This is the second iron law of officialdom that grandfather wants to teach you. If you have any grudges, you will be revenged, but you cannot treat things with things. Yuwen Shu will criticize you afterwards. You must act frankly and generously, which will highlight Yuwen Shu's despicableness and make the emperor feel guilty towards you. But we must not forget this grudge. We must also give him a shot. We must let him know the pain, and he will not dare to bully you at will."

"The grandson understands what grandfather means, and remembers his grandfather's teachings."

"Wait a minute!"

Yang Su interrupted Yang Yuanqing with a smile, "Grandfather's third official strategy has not been taught yet, and it is also the most difficult one. Let's give up a better name, called "Getting a Cattle from the Mountains."

Yang Yuanqing was also interested. He leaned forward slightly and was focused on his grandfather's teachings. Yang Su gently stroked his beloved grandson's hair. He had too much hope for this grandson. He hoped that his grandson would be both wise and brave, not only brave and resourceful on the battlefield, but also at ease in the officialdom. He knew that his grandson was about to return to Dali City. He wanted to teach his official experience all his time in this short period of time, and at the same time lay a foundation for his grandson. Yuwen Shu was the best goal.

"What is fighting a cow across the mountain? To put it simply, you not only have to hurt you, but also for the long-term. This time Yuwen Shu was smart. He thought he had the merit of supporting him. The emperor was very loyal to him. He made more than 100,000 yuan in the martial arts ceremony. The emperor would only scold him a little without further investigation. His idea was good. This martial arts ceremony was relatively low, and only one shilang presided over. To put it bluntly, it was a public election for the central shiguard. Just like choosing the shiguard every year, there was no big problem. Therefore, Yuwen Shu was so unscrupulous."

"What grandfather meant is that if you pay attention to Yuwen Shu this time, you can only hurt him. Is that true?"

Yang Su patted his grandson on the shoulder and said earnestly: "This is the essence of grandfather teaching you. On the surface, this incident only hurts Yuwenshu's surface, but I also said that this incident is very important to the emperor, and it is his temptation to the imperial examination. If Yuwenshu destroys this martial arts, he will leave an extremely bad impression in the emperor's heart. To put it seriously, it will destroy his support. What I want is not this punishment, but two months later...

Two months later, the General of the Supreme People began to choose new officials. I heard from Niu Shangshu that it is very likely that a group of seven people will be formed to choose Cao. This is the authority of officials! If Yuwen Shu cannot do this, he will definitely get a place to choose Cao. But if he leaves a bad impression in the mind of the Emperor of Wu Ju, then his chance to choose officials will inevitably be lost. If Yuwen Shu continues, it is my Yang family. Although it is not necessarily me, it must be the Yang family. It is likely that your father will be your future. As long as your father gets this opportunity, his future will be free, and our Yang family will not sink. Therefore, Yuan Qing, we must not let go of the opportunity to step on Yuwen Shu this time."

Yang Yuanqing suddenly realized that it was his grandfather’s brilliant and his grandfather’s words that benefited him a lot. He hurriedly said, “Grandfather, what should we do?”
